Validation Map
This map records the lowest-cost validation commands agents should reach for before broad CI-sized runs.
Discovery
pnpm nx show projects --withTarget test
pnpm nx show projects --withTarget lint
pnpm nx show projects --withTarget e2e
Manual CI Runs
When a PR event does not start checks for the current head, dispatch CI and E2E
with gh workflow run ci.yml --ref <branch> and
gh workflow run e2e-tests.yaml --ref <branch>. CodeQL also supports
gh workflow run codeql-analysis.yml --ref <branch>; this analyzes the selected
branch commit instead of the PR merge commit. Verify each run's head SHA before
using its result as evidence. Docker validation can use
gh workflow run docker.yml --ref <branch> -f push=false.
Unit And Type Checks
| Area | Command |
|---|---|
| Angular renderer entry points | pnpm run typecheck:web |
| Electron main process entry points | pnpm run typecheck:backend |
| Full unit suite (all projects) | pnpm run test:unit:ci |
| EPG data access | pnpm nx test epg-data-access |
| Workspace shell utilities | pnpm nx test workspace-shell-util |
| Shared SQLite schema/connection | pnpm nx test database |
| Packaging metadata | pnpm nx test packaging |
Lint
pnpm run lint # nx run-many --target=lint --all
pnpm nx lint <project> # single project
The CI workflow (.github/workflows/ci.yml) lints affected projects on PRs
(nx affected) and every project on master pushes.
This enforces @nx/enforce-module-boundaries (scope/domain/type tag
constraints), the legacy bare-alias ban, and the max-lines file-size rule
(hard maximum 400 lines for production TypeScript, 1200 for tests; blank lines
and comments are not counted). The limits live in
tools/eslint/max-lines-config.mjs, which both eslint.config.mjs and the
generator import. Files that predate the max-lines rule are baselined in
tools/eslint/max-lines-baseline.mjs; after splitting a baselined file below
the limit, regenerate the list with
node tools/eslint/generate-max-lines-baseline.mjs. Never add new files to
the baseline.
Coverage Tiers
Use tools/coverage/coverage-policy.json as the source of truth for coverage
ownership. Every project with a test target must be classified in a tier;
pnpm run coverage:policy:check (part of coverage:ci) fails CI when a new
project is missing from the policy, a listed project no longer exists, or a
Tier A entry has no test target. CI runs Tier A with coverage (uploaded to
Codecov) and each Tier B/C project's validationCommand (falling back to
nx test) without coverage; projects with an e2e target are skipped there
because the E2E workflow already runs them on every PR that touches app code.
Docs-only changes (Markdown, docs/, .plans/, .codex/, .claude/) and
apps/website/** changes skip the E2E workflow via paths-ignore — for those
PRs no E2E validation runs in CI, which is intentional: they cannot affect app
behavior.
Tier A coverage is fail-closed. coverage:unit:ci relays Jest output but exits
nonzero on a Failed to collect coverage marker, a missing or invalid project
report, or a runtime-owning production TypeScript file absent from that report.
coverage:merge requires every configured Tier A report before replacing the
merged output. Strict health validation also requires the merged Istanbul map
itself to contain usable instrumentation for every runtime-owning Tier A file,
recomputes its summary, and then applies aggregate and selected critical-file
ratchets.
Runtime-owning files are discovered from the TypeScript AST. Specs,
declarations, test setup and stubs, generated and environment files, index.ts,
type-only files, and pure re-export shims are excluded. Ratchets live under
reporting.coverageRatchet in tools/coverage/coverage-policy.json; update
them only from a fresh full coverage:ci report when every value stays level
or rises, and never lower one to accept a regression. The only exception is an
explicitly reviewed production source shrink: minimumCovered may follow a
lower total statement count when the PR documents the removed executable
statements and fresh coverage proves that the corresponding
minimumPercent, every aggregate ratchet, and the remaining behavioral
coverage do not decrease.
| Tier | Rule | Validation |
|---|---|---|
| A | Product/runtime Angular, Electron, backend, data-access, portal, playlist, workspace, playback, EPG, and shared UI code collects source coverage. | pnpm run coverage:ci |
| B | Validate behavior without percentage coverage, such as website, packaging, and Playwright E2E projects. |
pnpm nx test website, pnpm nx test packaging, or the closest E2E target |
| C | Excluded from the source coverage baseline, such as mock servers, test helper libraries, and untested feature shells. | Validate through dependent flows, or add focused tests when changing behavior directly |
apps/website is an Astro marketing site. Its useful signal is a successful
static build plus targeted output checks, not a merged code coverage percentage.
Projects with a test target but no specs, such as remote-control-web and
remote-control today, should not be in Tier A until focused specs exist.
For local coverage inspection:
pnpm run coverage:tools:test
pnpm run coverage:unit:ci
pnpm run coverage:merge
pnpm run coverage:health -- --require-report
The merged report is written to coverage/merged/ as HTML, LCOV, Cobertura,
and JSON summary output. CI uploads the merged Tier A report to Codecov with the
unit flag and keeps the HTML report as a GitHub artifact.
E2E
| Area | Command |
|---|---|
| Web app browser flows | pnpm nx run web-e2e:e2e -- --project=chromium |
| Electron flows | pnpm nx run electron-backend-e2e:e2e |
| VOD multi-source | pnpm nx run electron-backend-e2e:e2e-ci--src/vod-multi-source.e2e.ts |
Use atomized E2E targets when available, for example
pnpm nx run web-e2e:e2e-ci--src/xtream.e2e.ts.
Playwright coverage is measured semantically by tags and critical journeys, not
by a source-line percentage. E2E reports should use tags such as @critical,
@electron, @web, @xtream, @stalker, @m3u, @search, @epg,
@persistence, @settings, @pwa, and @self-hosted.
After an E2E run, generate the semantic summary with:
pnpm run coverage:e2e:summary
For local investigation only, Chromium browser V8 coverage can be explored with:
pnpm run coverage:e2e:v8:web
I18n
pnpm run i18n:check
The i18n check is non-mutating. It compares every locale file in
apps/web/src/assets/i18n/ against en.json and fails on missing or extra keys.
Identical English fallback values are reported as warnings by default; use
node tools/i18n/check-drift.mjs --fail-on-identical for a stricter translation
audit.
Logging
Runtime playback and EPG debug logs should use the existing logger or trace
helpers instead of unconditional console.log. Electron external-player traces
are gated by:
IPTVNATOR_TRACE_PLAYER=1 pnpm run serve:backend
Test impact and completion
Before finishing a feature, bug fix, data-flow or UI workflow change, identify the affected projects and choose unit, integration, E2E, build, lint and manual checks. Bug fixes normally include regression coverage that fails before the fix. If automation is impractical, explain why and report the strongest manual validation. Update fixtures, mocks, routes and E2E flows when behavior changes. Prefer extending the closest existing suite to introducing a parallel suite.
Run targeted unit checks first, then affected E2E for workflows, routing, persistence, playback, portals, settings or import flows. Electron IPC, SQLite, packaged runtime, external players, native files and Electron-only routes require Electron E2E where available, otherwise CDP/manual verification using the debugging guide. Prefer atomized E2E targets before broad suites. Final reports name tests changed, commands/results, and skipped validation with reasons. Docs-only changes need Markdown validation, not app unit/E2E. Tooling validation still requires its own focused tests.
Agent guidance checks
pnpm run agents:validate checks root instruction budgets/imports and guidance
navigation links/anchors. pnpm run skills:validate checks skill frontmatter,
length, paths and release mirrors. Both tooling suites run through
pnpm nx test repository-skills; syntax checks use
pnpm nx lint repository-skills. The CI guidance check runs regardless of the
Nx affected set. Semantic preservation of moved contracts is a review task;
link validation alone cannot prove it.
